In Frankfurt am Main, MIND+ is accelerating public transport with intelligent traffic light control and modern digitalization. Okari is responsible for the concept, planning, and implementation.
Challenge
Traffic in Frankfurt am Main is heavily congested – trams in particular lose valuable time at traffic lights. To speed up public transport and promote sustainable mobility, the city launched the MIND+ (“Multimodal, Intelligent, Sustainable, Digital”) project.
The aim is to introduce a modern, digitally networked traffic control system that prioritizes public transport and optimizes traffic flow.
Solution
On a test route (U5 line), traffic light systems are being digitally upgraded and roadside units installed to exchange data between vehicles and traffic lights.
The use of C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) technologies will create an intelligent control system that regulates traffic according to demand.
Together with the Frankfurt am Main transport company (VGF), this will create a multimodal real-world laboratory called “Cooperative Mobility Frankfurt.”
Okari GmbH supports the project by:
- Concept development, planning, and tendering
- Project management and coordination
- Conducting workshops and meetings
- Technical support for the Road Traffic Authority
This ensures efficient coordination of implementation and quality assurance in all project phases.
Added value
MIND+ creates an intelligent, environmentally-oriented traffic management system that:
- accelerates public transport,
- optimizes traffic flow,
- reduces waiting times,
- and paves the way for a smart, connected city.
This makes Frankfurt a pioneer in digital mobility and sustainable urban development.
